Re: [CGUYS] Local Area Connection 3 warning

Of course, it depends on what the warning says, but it sounds like
your anti-virus program...

 Windows XP computer; Verizon DSL
 Sometimes I get a popup warning from the sys tray (lower right-hand side).
 What does this mean? Is a warn out ether cable a possible source?

Ya, you completely forgot to tell us what the notification is.
Presumably it's just telling you a network connection is unavailable,
which can be normal as long as it isn't the one you're using for the
internet. You should be able to right click it and go to Properties
and uncheck the box Notify me if no connection.

Sorry about that. The notification is Local Area Connection 3. A network 
cable is unplugged. As I understand it, local area connection 3 is how my 
computer accesses DSL. Could the cable be defective? I used another cable but 
the 
problem persists.

Thanks,

Michael

No. You completely missed the rest of my message. I had already
assumed that was the error you were referring to.

To reiterate, Windows is just telling you there's no connection on
that device. But unless something has broken, you can safely ignore
it. Or disable the message.
